# Site contributor guidance

Preserve the Autonomous Runbook design in `DESIGN.md`. The open-source agent remains the product foundation, but the public conversion journey should focus on hosted continuity without a competing local-install CTA. Do not invent customer counts, placement claims, or application success rates. Keep founding payment copy honest: Hosted continuity is open for founding activators; $49 unlocks activatable hosted access and we email access details after verified payment (no instant self-serve dashboard claim unless that path ships). Cloud may stay soft "coming soon" while Hosted is READY/OPEN — do not couple those labels. Do not promise activation deadlines or automatic refunds in public offer, FAQ, terms, privacy, or return copy.
